MATLAB: How to set axes color to ‘none’

Question

How can I set axes color to 'none'?

Answer 1

You can execute the following command to set the "axes" color to 'none':

MATLAB R2014b and later:

ax = gca; % ax is the handle to the axes
ax.Color = 'none';

Prior to MATLAB R2014a:

set(ax, 'Color', 'none');

You can find the relevant documentation for the above "axes" property in the following link:

From MATLAB R2018a, you can also do the same from the Property Editor as well by following the steps below:

1. Click on the axes.

2. Select More Properties.

3. Scroll down to the tab titled "Box Styling"

4. In the "Color" field type "none" and save.
